Mommy says to tell you she finished her Pilates DVD yesterday, even though I tried to help by standing in front of the computer monitor. Somehow her excitement evades me.

Yesterday we went to a BBQ in honor of my cousin's 10th birthday (and my other cousin's 14th, too). Here's part of the crowd checking out the food. I made sure I got plenty to eat by making the rounds and grabbing food off people's plates. Mommy's not impressed, but no one else seemed to mind.

Speaking of birthdays, a week ago last Friday was my 1 1/2 year birthday. So we had a half birthday party to celebrate. We had a half-baked half cake, and I got half presents, and half of my friends were there. Well, not exactly . . .
Here I am with my half cake all lit up (one cupcake for each month more than 1 year).
EVERYBODY helped me blow them candles out. That's an awful lot of wind! Here I am trying to figure out those crazy things!

Mommy gave me a cupcake to eat, and I handed it right back to her. I am such a generous child!
Here I am helping her serve the cake to everybody. Not only am I generous, I'm helpful, too!
Here I am checking out the icing. Not bad, considering that Mommy was whipping it up 1/2 hour before everybody pitched up, and she's never made icing before (that premade stuff rocks!) and she wasn't even following a recipe.
Oh - I did mention I got half presents! Here I am checking out the bags. Just like at my 1st birthday, I was too busy playing with each present to move on to the next one right away.
And here I am giving Mommy some butterfly sticker tattoos. Cool mommy, huh?!
Here is the verse Mommy read in my honor: "Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the LORD your God, am with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

Thanks for commenting on my site. These pictures are precious. What a great idea to have a half birthday for her! My daughter was born in August, never got the "school" party. So every year we had a half birthday for her at school so she could share cupcakes with the kids. She loved it!Happy 18 months!

That little one is darling!!!! Thank you for the kind comments on my blog-the dishes are piled up again, so I am glad I have a pic. of what it looked like this morning! God bless you and your sweet little angel!
